Light therapy to improve blood pressure control in treated hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific type of light therapy called photobiomodulation can help improve blood vessel function and blood pressure control in people already taking losartan (a blood pressure medication). Researchers will use light applied to your arm to see if it provides additional benefits beyond your current medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be taking losartan 100 mg per day (split into two doses) as your only blood pressure medication for at least 2 months
- Your current blood pressure readings must be 140/90 mmHg or lower
- You cannot have taken any other blood pressure medications in the last 2 months
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old
- You cannot have skin sores, cuts, or lesions on either arm
- You cannot have other serious health conditions (heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, cancer, or psychiatric conditions) that could be worsened by light therapy

This trial tests light therapy (photobiomodulation) to see if it helps people with high blood pressure who still have trouble controlling it with medication. It is a short study looking at an acute effect.
This trial tests a new, no-contact device called Lifelight that measures your blood pressure just by looking at your face. It compares these readings to the standard cuff method, and you can use it at home for self-monitoring.
This trial tests whether timing blood pressure medications (based on your natural daily body rhythms) can improve blood pressure control. It’s designed for adults with moderately high blood pressure and focuses on who may benefit from a more precise schedule.
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation device that may help control blood pressure. It is for people with certain types of high blood pressure or low blood pressure upon standing.
This trial checks whether an optical device can measure your blood pressure as accurately as the usual method used by clinicians. You may be asked to come for 9 visits and do brief exercises while measurements are taken.
This study is testing whether a combination of blood pressure medication and a supervised exercise program can improve the health of your blood vessels. It's for people with mild to moderate high blood pressure who are not already on medication.
